Federica's Medical Expense Fund

Donation protected
The Salemi's are very dear friends/neighbors of ours.

Their 10 year old daughter Federica who is a witty, funny, outgoing kid  who is beautiful inside and out was suddenly rushed to the hospital August  22, 2015 then transferred to two more hospitals  in less than 12 hours.

What we all thought was a stomach virus with a cough suddenly turned into a life threatening illness.  They were told  it was her gall bladder until her symptoms worsened.

The family was told Federica developed severe myocarditis which then affected her liver and kidneys. She is now on a respirator and has been placed on dialysis.  She  has a long road of recovery  ahead including  possible rehabilitation.  Medical insurance covers so much but not everything.  

Both parents Antionetta  and Stefano had to stop working suddenly to be with their daughter.  Federica has two great caring  older brothers Francesco and Felippo who adore their little sister and cannot wait for her to be home. They both will be starting school soon.  

The Salemi's are like family to us.  Our daughter Ella misses her BFF.  

Driving to and from the hospital into New York becomes costly.  We know they will need help and whatever you can do for them will be greatly appreciated.  They are people who would not ever ask for help if they needed it. We know they are going to need some help with medical expenses.

You and and all of us-can help by donating. All the raised money will go to Federica and her family and will be used to pay for treatment and additional medical expenses. 

 We have received so many get well cards for Federica from her  friends/ family and will be so happy to read them when she recovers from this serious  illness.  Everyone has been so supportive and the Salemi Family can not thank you enough.

Thank you all for your support and please pray for Federica's healthy recovery!  Will post updates on her recovery! Please share!

We thank you all!❤️
